After a storm fried my old Linksys router (even through the UPS system) I needed a quick replacement that didn't make me reconfigure everything in the whole house. This replacement was absolutely seamless. Works perfectly, great signal and seems even more solid than it's older version.

We needed to replace the rechargeable batteries in a couple of WII controllers. This charging station included both batteries and a new recharging base station. Best part is that this cost quite a bit less than two new rechargeable OEM batteries.

My annual physical included a recommendation to measure my blood pressure regularly. We took out the old manual pump up cuff and tried, but it's very hard to take your own blood pressure. We bought the Withings Smart Body Analyzer, aka scale, and were very impressed with the ease of setup and use.
When we read about the Withings wireless blood pressure devise, we checked it out, read the reviews, and were very impressed. So we bought one, and now used each morning. I like the way the iPhone app keeps track of the measurements, and I can easily share them with my Dr.
I recommended this to a friend, he bought one, and now his office mates want to get one too. We're very pleased and plan to keep using this each morning.

This was a carefully considered purchase as a part of my goal to get more healthy. This wasn't a "New Year's Resolution" but a part of a long term plan to get healthy after years of slacking off. This "scale" is a very good tool to help in this plan. It is outstanding to be able to see and track physical parameters on a daily basis, and it a very good motivator to stay on track. I definitely recommend this body analyzer, aka scale.

I needed a way to keep my iPhone mounted in my car but didn't want to put a suction cup mount on the windshield. This clips onto one of the vents and puts the phone right about where a GPS screen should be. Easy to install and super easy to use.

The upstairs CO/Smoke Detector was getting old and time to replace, so I researched products and decided on the Nest Protect. It was super easy to install and connect to our house WIFI network, and showed up immediately on the Nest app. The Nest Protect monitors it's status each day, and sends a monthly complete self check report. The built-in night light is a great bonus!

I wanted to upgrade from a programmable thermostat that was usually a complete pain to program and maintain. Each season needed a complete reprogramming, and every time I needed to make a change I had to clone the change into each day so the settings were consistent. No More! The Nest thermostat is really easy to program and it learns what I like without having to program each day's multiple settings. Plus it senses when I'm not on the floor and sets the temps for me. And it reads the outside temperatures and uses that to adjust the temperature inside. Very cool! And it looks very nice as well.

 Insignia™ - SSD Mount - Black
Insignia™ - SSD Mount - Black
Upgrade your computer without assistance or confusion. Mounts your 2.5" solid state drive into a 3.5" drive bay desktop computer using screwdriver. This adapter bracket made of aluminium and fits almost any 2.5 inch SSD.
 

I want to replace the hard drive on a Lenovo laptop. I want to replace the hard drive with a digital Samsung hard drive. Will this mount work to secure the hard drive in the hardrive?

You probably don't need a bracket, as most SSDs are the right size for the mounting bay on laptops.

Only @ Best BuySet up your television and DVR with this Rocketfish 4K UltraHD cable, and enjoy high-quality high-definition entertainment the way it was meant to be viewed. The 4-foot cable offers ample length for connecting components, and a triple-layer shield protects against interference. This Rocketfish 4K UltraHD cable supports transfer speeds up to 18 Gbps for lag-free enjoyment of your media.
 

I just bought a hisense 2160p 4K how do I make the tv look like how it does in the store?

Well, the first thought is you may need to have the set calibrated. Most sets are shipped completely out of adjustment, so if you want it to look as best as the set can, then you probably should have it professionally calibrated. Second, you need the right program material - 4K content. You can get that from several input sources, including 4K discs. Just remember you will need a player that can handle 4K, cables that have 4K bandwidth capability, and if you use one, an AV receiver that processes 4K signals.

Next thought is you may need to rethink how your viewing room is set up. Generally, glare and bright lights can make the video image look more washed out than a darker room. There are a number of good articles on how to set up a room for really good viewing.

Final thought about how the set should look - it may take 60 to 80 hours of viewing time for everything to settle down in your set's electronics. Some things really do get better with age! After that, then consider having the set calibrated.

Good luck, and happy viewing...

How far does the Wifi reach with this router

Well, that really depends on what you're trying to push the signal through. Wallboard - no problem, should cover an average house. Steel frame building - not as far. Outdoors through the side of your house - also depends, but a hundred feet or so easily.

Why are scanned files so large?

A four page scan has a size of 2.2 MB. The same pages scanned on a Cannon copier is 325 KB and the quality looks the same. Why are the files so large? Can the scans be make a small file size?
It's most likely due to the resolution you selected on the scan dialogue. For example, if you're scanning those 4 pages at 600 dpi in full color into a searchable PDF, that adds up. If there are images involved in addition to b/w text, then file size grows even more. Try setting the scan resolution to 200 dpi.

why doesn't my Seagate backup plus 1TB back up my Quicken

You need to set the backup location in Quicken. I recommend using a folder structure like this: finance/year/month - looks like this documents/finance/2015/01 for this month. Then each month change the month folder, and Quicken will perform backups that you can easily identify if you ever need to roll back your Quicken files.

One warning: you can't use the external drive on both your computer and your DVR. Unless someone has a workaround, it's one or the other, but not both.
